Ice cream van hire in Highgate

Highgate is a hilltop village spread across three boroughs: Haringey, Camden and Islington. The village around Pond Square and the High Street keeps its Georgian character, Highgate Cemetery draws visitors from around the world, and the ancient woodland of Highgate Wood and Queen's Wood runs along Muswell Hill Road. Hampstead Heath and Kenwood are on one side, Waterlow Park on the other. Events here are often private: garden parties, christenings, anniversaries and school fairs.

Highgate's hills and old roads take planning. Some are steep, some are narrow, and the village centre has little parking. The van needs a level standing, so tell us about slopes and gates. Our vans serve on battery power, which is welcome in a conservation area: while we serve there is no engine running, no fumes and no noise beyond a quiet freezer hum. Because Highgate spans three councils, check which one covers your street for any parking suspension or event permission.
